The Sunshine State is blessed with mild weather, lush tropical scenery and, most importantly, an abundance of coastal waters -- some 4,300 square miles in total, washing along nearly 1,200 miles of sandy shores. Divers will find an embarassment of riches both offshore and inland, ranging from the tropical reefs studding the Keys and  the southern portion of the state, to the teeming sea life of the Gulf of Mexico, to the hidden wonders of the state's crystal-clear springs.
